  • Tips For Your Third Trimester of Pregnancy

    07 March 2017

    Accident Pro Prime
    Your third trimester
    Pregnant Insurance Lady
    When is My Third Trimester?

    The third trimester lasts from the 29th week of pregnancy (seventh month) until birth

    What's happening to my body?

    Your little one will grow a lot bigger in the third trimester. You may experience more aches and swelling as you carry your growing baby around

    In the first few weeks after conception:

    Baby fetus

    Week 32:

    Your baby's bones are fully formed. The baby can now open and close its eyes and start to sense light

    Baby upside down

    Week 34:

    Your baby turns southward, settling into a heads down, bottom up position.

    Baby
    Baby fetus

    Week 36:

    Your baby is considered full term and his or her organs are ready to function on their own

    3kg anvil

    At this stage, your baby should weigh between 2 to 3 kilogram

    3kg Anvil

    What Early Pregnancy Side Effects/Symptoms Will I Face, and How Can I Cope with Them?

    ABDOMINAL ACHINESS

    When sitting, elevate your feet on a footstool or pillow to relieve abdominal aches

    Lady sitting in an elevated position
    VARICOSE VEINS
    (swollen and enlarged veins that occur on legs and feet - blue or dark purple colour)

    Similiar to abdominal aches, relieve pressure off your feet by keeping your legs in an elevated position while you sit

    Pregnant Lady sitting on Yoga ball
    BACKACHES

    Sleep on your side instead of your back while keeping one or both knees bent

    Lady sitting in an elevated position
    STRETCH MARKS

    Moisturize your stomach by massaging with aroma oil before bathing

    LEAKY BREASTS

    When you begin to feel a slight tingly sensation of a leak, apply firm pressure to your breasts by crossing your arms over your chest and hugging yourself

    Lady sitting in an elevated position
    LACK OF BLADDER CONTROL

    Try Kegel exercises, work up three sets of 30 Kegel exercises daily

    What will my Third Doctor's Appointment be Like?

    During the third trimester, you'll start seeing your healthcare provider more frequently. Besides determining the baby's position and checking your cervix on how your body prepares for childbirth, your doctor will regularly:

    Test your urine for protein

    Pregnant Lady sitting on Yoga ball

    Check your blood pressure

    Check your hands and legs for any swelling

    Pregnant Lady sitting on Yoga ball

    Measure your fundal height (the approximate length of your uterus)

    Pregnant Lady sitting on Yoga ball

    Listen to the foetal heart rate

    What are the common worries and questions at this stage?

    What is premature birth?
    • Takes place more than 3 weeks before the baby is due
    • Pregnancies usually last for 40 weeks, so a premature birth is one that occurs before the 37th week
    What is premature birth?
    • Short - term complications: Premature babies may end up having problems related to their breathing, brain, temperature control, etc
    • Long - term complications: Premature babies may end up with impaired cognitive skills, vision and hearing problems.
    What kinds of treatment and support would there be if this happens?

    Things to Take Note of:

    During this period, it's advised that you say in relatively close proximity to your doctor or midwife in case you go into labor early. The third trimester is also when you would be less mobile than before:

    Travel restrictions take effect during the third trimester
